Release of Psycho-Physiological Manifestations of Stress in Older Patients with Atherosclerotic Encephalopathy

Under investigation were 25 men and women at the age of 50 – 70 years with a beginning atherosclerotic encephalopathy.

The patients were treated with both relaxing and activating Medical Resonance Therapy Music®. There were 10 treatments in total, each treatment lasting from 10 to 30 minutes. Starting with a habituation phase of 10 min­utes the treatment was expanded step by step up to 30 minutes. During the first three treat­ments relaxing MRT-Music® was given, in the following four treatments the patients received activating MRT-Music; during the last three treatments they received in the first 10 min­utes relaxing and in the following 20 minutes activating MRT-Music®.

During the whole time of treatment with Medi­cal Resonance Therapy Music® the patients did not receive any medication effecting the central nervous system.

Result

The patients experienced very often a deep muscular relaxation combined with a sen­sa­tion of warmth and with ease and sleepiness. Furthermore the symptoms “bad mood“, “leth­argy“, “tension“ and “touchiness“ were sig­nifi­cantly reduced or even completely released. Over and over again they reported of a re­lease of stress, of the acquisition of distance from unpleasant things, the experience of gentleness, inner peace, a kind of freedom from care and a spiritual state of mind.
